This website represents the joint efforts of a large group of people. The treatment model, Cognitive Processing Therapy, was developed Patricia A. Resick, Ph.D., with assistance from Candice Monson, Ph.D. of Ryerson University, and Kathleen Chard, Ph.D., of the University of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. Their pioneering work developing and testing this treatment model serves as the basis for this web-based training program. They also provided extensive help and consultation for the development of original training course and this, its revision.
